The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m staring at the charts for the Karramarro region. Honestly, it’s a bit of a heartbreaker for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a real standout session on Monday, but then it’s a long, lean stretch of flat or blown-out junk.
The real winner here is Monday, July 27th, first thing in the morning. Head to Karramarro for a session that’s about as good as it gets around here. The water is warm—much warmer than normal, about 76°F, so that’s a nice surprise. You’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the northwest, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it proper groundswell energy (combined energy of 548). The wind is dead glassy from the northwest, so the surface will be like a mirror. This is a point break, and with that long-period NW swell, it’s going to line up beautifully. The wave energy is moderate to strong, and the sets will have some punch, but it’s manageable for advanced surfers. It’s a bit inconsistent and crowds are often here, so don’t expect it to be empty, but for this quality, it’s worth the company.
Now, the bad news. After that Monday morning window, the forecast falls off a cliff. From Monday afternoon all the way through to the end of the first week of August, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops, the wind goes cross-shore or onshore, and the period gets short and weak. The few days that show a bump in size, like Sunday, August 9th, the swell is coming in at 4ft from the northwest, and the wind is cross-off from the west, so the surface might be clean. But the period is only 9 seconds, and the energy is moderate (210). The conditions are described as surfable but very ordinary, so it’s a last resort, not a plan.
The takeaway? If you can, paddle out early on Monday, July 27th. After that, you’re looking at nearly two weeks of duds. The only other flicker of life is that Sunday the 9th, but it’s a long way off and the quality is mediocre. For an inconsistent spot like this, a blank run is just part of the deal.
Stay frothy, or don’t. I’ll be out there Monday.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
